Has a new engine, 6"+ lift, all RE components, 33" tires, rock rails, sye, etc. Many have seen it already. It's locked up front, but not in the rear. It's a great Jeep, it runs wonderfully, it just had an engine rebuild done about 2 years ago, and since then, it's had less than 5k on...

So I just wanted to clarify, Generally speaking, when the engine backfires out the intake, the timing is too early, and when the engine backfires out the exhaust, the timing is to late, correct? And if so, how can the distributor be too early on one tooth and too late on the next? Would...

Some of you may know that I had an engine rebuilt by Mike Finch some time ago. Since that time, the Jeep has had a vibration it never had before. It had also developed a leak in the front transmission seal and transmission pump seal. So I pulled the timing cover, valve cover, and oil pan to...

Anyone know where I can get one that includes bolts/studs/dish shaped washers locally? I don't have access to a junk yard, and I'm damn close to being able to start the Jeep back up and see what I broke this time. =( Was hoping Napa or Kragen would have a kit, but I don't see anything like...

I have the FSM, but it's apparently a few pages short of a full book. I get to installing the torque converter and it says: (6) Install converter housing-to-engine bolts (Fig. 53). Unfortunately, I don't have (Fig. 53). Anyone know what torque they need to be tightened to? And where...

I'm so baffled! I've got all the bolts out, the pump moves like an 1/8th of an inch in and out, but just won't come the rest of the way. Is there something attached I don't know about? Am I missing a step? The instructions say use a puller, but all the videos I see of other trannys say...

I yanked my tranny out to change the front pump seal, but while the torque converter was out, I checked the surface to make sure it was still smooth. Unfortunately, it was not. So I see people talking about torque converter repair sleeves, and I start looking. It seems the only torque...

anyone know of an aftermarket wiring harness for the Cherokee? I thought Hesco had a kit, but I just emailed him and he said their wiring kit is only for the CJ with the MPI conversion kit and it won't support standard equipment on an XJ. I looked through the Painless site and couldn't find...

OK, so I have a thread in OEM: http://www.naxja.org/forum/showpost.php?p=245940965&postcount=28 Does that look like the correct position for a timing chain at TDC on the compression stroke? I'm only asking in SoCal because I figured some of you might actually be able to swing by and take a...

Ok, So it's been a while since I've been around, mainly because the new engine has been running like crap. I'm about to disassemble and recheck everything myself now that i have a garage to work in, but in the process, I'm going to pull the A/C system out. It's noisy (bad bearings), doesn't...

So here's the long story: 1994 Jeep Cherokee Country 4.0L AW4 had about 178,000 miles, was leaking oil and burning coolant. A local member offered to do a complete rebuild and install for $1,700, which I thought was a great deal. And since I was burning coolant, I figured I probably had a...

Will pay cash or trade RE 1462 4.5" leaf springs and 2.25" coil spacers.

Just need a quick spot weld on an exhaust hanger. Jeep has failed over and over again, smog tech took a look and said a pinhole before the cat will make it impossible to remove the NO. Being that I've tried everything else, I'm hoping he's right and someone locally that has a welder can spare...

So I just failed my second smog test, here's the background... 1994 Cherokee Country 4.0, rebuilt engine .030 over, Ford 19# injectors, Borla header, Borla catback, new distributor, new rotor, new cap, new plugs, new wires, new 02 sensor, new Cat, checked fuel pressure at idle: 31psi with...

So I just failed smog with ungodly high NOx on a newly rebuilt engine. 1994 Jeep Cherokee Country 4.0 Auto. Since the rebuild, the engine has suffered from a vibration at low torque, and has had what felt like a miss at WOT. However, it idles very smooth. I've checked for vacuum leaks with...

So i just took the newly built engine for a smog and failed horribly on NOx again. With the old engine it became a routine, change plugs, wires, cap, rotor, o2 sensor....take test, fail with High NOx, buy a cat, pass smog. This time, since I got tired of paying for retests, bought the cat...

So I just wanted to take a brief moment to give some praise to Mike Finch at Grease Monkey Mobile. A couple months back the jeep started burning coolant on top of an already existing oil leak at the head gasket so I was thinking I'd take it in to Mike to have the head gasket swapped, but after...

OK, maybe not the best subject in this forum, but none the less, I just got a new MOOG ES2233L that I need to have reamed to fit an ES2026R. From what I can tell, it's 1.5"/foot, the same as the 1-ton steering systems. Anywho, if anyone in the San Diego area has one of these reamers (they...

I'm having this funky issue with my steering I cannot seem to isolate. I'll to my best to explain, but it's a bit hard to describe. At certain points while turning the steering wheel, it seems to kind of jump a bit. By that, it's almost as if a u-joint is working at a very steep angle and...

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I cannot find another thread...but I'm seriously thinking it's time I just pull the damn things off and run doorless. Problem is, I don't want to end up paying for it through traffic citations, so I was curious if anyone actually knows if it is...
